No Party Affiliation
Why dont we do away with the two party system and only have a Constitutional party of our Republic? The right is to far right, the left is to far left the Independents fan far right and far left. After all do you think we would have a debt as high as it is now if we had people in Washington that cared for the "people"? Today and for many decades we've had a government that only does stuff for their party not for us the people.
Why not revamp Washington give our Government an Enema and go back to basics.
If youre a politician, you get no pay, you work for the people not for the money..
Do you agree or disagree and why?
How to you suggest we 'do away' with political parties? Consider too that elected officals get more than pay, they get perks (I like to call them bribes). Ask yourself why so many members of Congress are millionaires? It's (clearly) not because they're smart.
If you give politicians no pay at all - then the only people we would have to choose from would be the ultra-wealthy and I think that representation would be far more skewed than our current representation.
So imho - it's a bad idea.
I think a more workable solution might be to only allow individuals to make political donations. Freedom of political expression (which would arguably be curtailed) could be defined as an individual right - not a collective one. I don't know, snags all around - but maybe a good start.
